About Us
Psagot Winery
Planted deep in Binyamin’s rocky soil, the Psagot Winery and vineyards embody generations of settlement and quality winemaking in a region of optimal conditions. The winery was founded in 2003 and has been growing consistently ever since. The last harvest yielded the vineyard ~1M bottles, over 70% of which are exported to dozens of countries around the world. Psagot Wineries currently produces ~25 types of quality wines that win prestigious awards, medals and international competitions every year.
Psagot Winery relocated to its new location at Shaar Binyamin in June 2020. A beautiful stone structure resembling an ancient roadside inn and overlooking the magnificent landscape of Wadi Qelt and the Edom Mountains, houses the wine production factory, the visitors center and the winery’s banquet hall. In the middle of the building is an enchanted garden overlooking the primal view. ~1000 barrels of wine age in the cellar every year. The impressive structure hosts a variety of events and activities, offering a special atmosphere coupled with good wine and a beautiful landscape, including: individual and group wine tours, a patisserie, small and large events, conferences and seminars, cultural concerts, and more.
The winery evolves continuously, because wine is an inspiration!
Psagot Spirit is beyond wine, inspired by Wine & Beyond.
Our patisserie opened during Iron Swords War. Anyone who loves butter and French pastries will enjoy handmade and locally baked pastries, premium coffee and many other treats. We are open all days of the week, staging a true celebration on Fridays.
Home is Garden – Our winery presents a unique design language and we’ve discovered that many visitors wish to take a bit of our winery home with them.
Beyond the wine, which is at the core of our essence, we opened a plant nursery & home decore store, selling plants and unique home and garden design items. The plants and artifacts brought in from Israel and abroad will ensure a memorable experience and remind you of us.

The Cave & Coin
The Psagot winery is located in the northern region of the Jerusalem mountains, an area ripe with awe-inspiring remnants of biblical-era vineyards and wineries. During the vineyard’s construction, an ancient cave from the Hasmonean Dynasty period was discovered, and in it, a coin dating back to the Great Revolt of 73–66 BC. The coin’s front face is stamped with the words “For Freedom of Zion” and adorned with a vine leaf, while the back face reads “Year Two” (to the Revolt), alongside an image of an amphora – an ancient container used for storing wine. That coin embodies the essence of our story, and its image is born upon a selection of our wines. For us, the coin is a reminder of our deep connection to the earth and to our roots. As we walk through the vines, we hear the echoes of our ancestors, experts in their time, who made the finest wines for the temples of Jerusalem and emperors of Rome as early as two millennia ago.

The Vineyards
Our vineyards are planted upon the harsh, chalky terraces of the Binyamin region. It is a well-known fact in the wine world that wine quality comes down to the vineyards, where grapes are grown cultivated to the highest standards. Our vines may not have it easy, but the high mountains of the Binyamin and Samaria regions – ranging between 700 and 900 meters above sea level – coupled with the unique climate and soil conditions, guarantee a prime terroir for producing high-quality fruit. Our vineyards are cared for with utmost diligence. That is how we are able to obtain only the finest grapes for our wines.
